The rom-com has its own unique Hell-zone where the worst films are buried to death.
When you believed that that 2023 could be another successful year to go to the movies with a shark that prehistorically resembles company and comes Shotgun Wedding. This isn’t just the sort of poor film that makes you want to think about your role within the global community. Shotgun Wedding is just dreadful in a dull, uninteresting way. It’s more shocking to see JLo being trapped in such a shambles.
Darcy (Lopez) as well as Tom (Josh Duhamel) are married on an idyllic Island located in the Philippines. As with any wedding there are a lot of details to deal with, regardless of all the efforts made by the coordinator, Marge (Selena Tan from Crazy Rich Asians). Darcy isn’t keen on her father who is super rich, Robert (Cheech Marin) to cover the cost. Tom would like to give Darcy her dream wedding while also proving to his parents that he’s the best man for their daughter.
Darcy’s younger sister Jamie (Callie Hernandez) is an outcast and isn’t there at the right time to style Darcy’s hair while she’s doing something of trouble with her his best friend Ricky (Desmin Borges). When Jamie absent to control her mother-in-law’s (Jennifer Coolidge) exaggerations, Darcy ends up with something that resembles an “condo” in her hair.
Darcy’s parents divorced and her mother, Renata (Sonia Braga) while dissing Tom as a bridezilla (he wants all things to go as planned and that includes the pineapple centerpieces) is unhappy about the girl Robert’s girlfriend, Harriet (D’Arcy Carden) smiling at her.
When you believed that that 2023 would be one of the most successful year for movies, with a shark from prehistoric times for company and is Shotgun Wedding. It’s not just the sort of poor film that makes you want to consider your role within the global community. Shotgun Wedding is just dreadful in a dull, half-hearted way. It’s more shocking to see JLo being trapped in such a shambles.
Darcy (Lopez) as well as Tom (Josh Duhamel) are married in an idyllic Island located in the Philippines. Like any wedding there are a lot of details to be dealt with regardless of all the efforts made by the wedding manager, Marge (Selena Tan from Crazy Rich Asians). Darcy isn’t keen on her father who is super rich, Robert (Cheech Marin) to be the one to make the payment. Tom is determined to offer Darcy her dream wedding while also proving to his parents that he’s the best man for their daughter.
Darcy’s younger sister Jamie (Callie Hernandez) is an outcast and doesn’t show up for the time it takes to put on Darcy’s hair while she’s in a position that isn’t good for her his best friend Ricky (Desmin Borges). When Jamie absent to control her future mother-in law, Carol’s (Jennifer Coolidge) excessive behavior, Darcy ends up with something that looks like an “condo” in her hair.
Darcy’s parents have separated, and her mother, Renata (Sonia Braga) is alternating between dissing Tom as a bridezilla (he would like all things to be perfect with the centrepieces of pineapple) is unhappy about Robert’s girlfriend Harriet (D’Arcy Carden) smiling at her.
In addition Darcy’s ex-boyfriend, Sean (Lenny Kravitz) creates a splashy chopper drop during the wedding (even when he didn’t RSVP). Sean snatchs Tom’s speech and reeks of funny and sensitive thoughts of the time he spent spent with Darcy as part of the Peace Corps in Bali, and also charms the wedding guests as well as Tom’s quiet father Larry (Steve Coulter).
And as guests wait until the wedding day bride is ready to make her way through the aisle and the happy couple are engaged in an argument with lots of “you have said” being exchanged and then the pirates arrive. Shotgun Wedding is supposed to be Die Hard at a wedding… Detective John McClane will not be singing Yippee-KiYay anytime in the near future.
The jokes are softer than yesterday’s uthappam , and blasting brains with a blow is not an ideal choice for a movie. There’s the romcom or action film and the action comedy, or the Tarantino-style dismemberment accompanied by bloody gouts. It’s a shame to say that this film does not belong to any of these categories. Shotgun Wedding lives in its particular hell-zone where terrible movies are buried.
